piu' da giorno.abbastanza persistente ma soprattutto o00ver 50!

Classy, refined, and elegant. A scent for gentlemen! Definitively on my wish list.

mirk birley = ted baker pride of england.

definitely not my style.

I think of this one as a highly refined version of Uomo? Moschino (which was introduced two years later, apparently). What's really interesting is how this makes MB wearable for me, whereas U?M was too crude and harsh. Anyway, they both have a lot of notes which seem to be crowding each other out. The theme is a lemon meringue kind of smell. In other words, there is a bit of lemon with a slightly sour quality, and it's also a little creamy. It's a touch woody, and as you might expect, sweet, but definitely not very sweet. After an hour or so the projection/"sillage" drops off significantly, but it seems to be linear otherwise. Longevity seems good if not great. If this is what you seek, I doubt you can get it in a less expensive fragrance, though as I said if you don't mind a crude version of it, you can go for U?M. If I took price into account, I'd give it a neutral, but since I don't I think it deserves a positive, especially considering it's not to my taste at all yet I do like it on some level, and would wear it as a change of pace once every month or two.

I totally love this one! It's a very classic yet extremely modern scent. I find it to be one of the most refined and complete male scent ever created. Unmistakable, fresh and at the same time deep, very versatile. If worn by a 50 years old gentleman it's very classy, otherwise on a 30 years old turns to be modern, and yes, even unusual! Lasting power it's not among the best but you can bypass this problem by sipmly wearing it on both skin and clothes so that it stays for more than 8 hours..
